Our style shoot tells a story of a gentle and calm love. Lavender is a very calming scent and apricots evoke a sense of summer, comfort and brightness. These colours and inspiration is woven throughout the shoot without it feeling overbearing. The central aspect of the shoot is to feel like you are walking into a place of love that feels calming.
Our story carries the values of wellness, sustainability and inclusivity. All the vendors that were on the shoot ground their work in one or more of these areas.
